BORNO EMIRATE COUNCIL.
"Woah, this is where you live?" Suhayr couldn't hide away her astonishment from her voice making him feel proud and his ego to swell up a notch when he asked her not to get hers any higher. He can't help it, he helped in making the castle get a little modern.
"No, this is where I keep my animals." Came his sarcastic reply which abruptly have her gritting her teeth is anger. He knows the button to push to make her mad and he is pressing on it quite too much, he needs to stop.
"I won't be surprised since you are one too." She gave a smirk of triumph when she saw his face falling then he scowled deeply which elicit a chuckle from her. He will get what he deserve, that she promised deeply, a vow Suhayr
BORNO EMIRATE COUNCIL.Suhayr was sent to another wing by car with Sa'eed but she didn't say a thing to him neither did he initiate any conversation letting her wrap her head around the fact that she is going to get married again. Even though the first marriage gave her the satisfaction of knowing she is not maybe married, but now that everyone is pushing their heads in the matter she is not too sure. She will really by tied to this egoistical man, no turning back.This time around with more than hundred breathing species.She is not even curious about her surroundings anymore but just let the driver drive further into the castle. They stopped in front of a gigantic ivory gates with golden intricate surrounding the ends of it, it looks mature and powerful too. There are guards standing by the side waiting for their car to arrive and as soon as it did, they opened th
BORNO EMIRATE COUNCIL."I hope they are all ours please. Why are they even bringing this much expensive stuff? To show off?" Tasneem asked no one in particular but kept eyeing the boxes in a puzzled way. She's never seen thing as expensive as that her entire nineteen years old of living."Good day, everyone. We are all gathered here to seek for Suhayr's hand in marriage. We, the royal family members know about their secret marriage but the world don't know about it so we are going to take each step like we, the Kanuris traditionally do. This is the first step of it, the gaisuwa; seeking for her hand in marriage along with fixing date." The voice makes Suhayr shudder in unease because of the power it drips.She could clearly see where Sa'eed got his power having been brought up amidst power
BORNO EMIRATE COUNCIL.Sa'eed glared at one of the maids that dare cross where he is sitting making her twist on her legs and fall down on the carpeted floor. He rolled his eyes at her clumsiness, or is it nervousness? He can't even say now that he has more in his plates than anybody else, that is how he feels. Like the whole castle's problem is on his head now, he's had his fair share of struggles before but this, he is in for a really tough ride which he needs as much energy as he could gain.He is married after a month of divorcing his first wife, how on earth is that even sane to any person out there? People are going to question his intentions with his first wife, some will go to the extent of saying he impregnated Suhayr and is now willing to marry her after divorcing his first wife. Like those sort of things really get to him, he don't care about those
BORNO EMIRATE COUNCIL.Suhayr's groaned when the pounding on her door wouldn't stop, she can't stand that when she is soundly sleeping. She really should wake up, she knows that but she can't help not wanting to move a muscle. She's been dead tired, sleeping was the only way for her to get the day starting and when it finally arrived, she can't help not wanting to start it. She's been sleeping for more than ten hours, she still feels like her muscles are constricting.Not to forget, the bed is effortlessly the perfect one she's ever slept on, what better way than to rest away the whole morning or even the day entirely. Where on earth do they get beds so fluffy and meek, how amazing. Back in her room, she don't get to sleep because of her bed, she only has to sleep when it i
BORNO EMIRATE COUNCIL.Suhayr, Urshia, Tasneem and Thuraiya are now ready waiting for the cars that should come get them just like the Queen told her. Yes, they spend more than ten minutes talking about what is going to happen and mostly are the ones that are going to happen tomorrow morning, clearly telling her she won't have much goodnight sleep the next day. The ceremony is going to happen in the main palace's event hall meant just for events like this. Suhayr could only shake her head at the thought of what those rich folks do with money. But an event hall, seriously? Well, maybe because so much events takes place starting from coronations, naming ceremonies, weddings, birthdays and so on but still, she don't see the need of event hall in a home. Or, because this is not a home but a castle.
BORNO EMIRATE COUNCIL.Suhayr could feel it in her bones that this whole wedding is going to cost her her energy for the year. She thought this year was going to end smoothly with no extraordinary exceptional dramas but who is she to even think about that? Her life will never be the same from this wedding no matter what happens to it in the future. She is definitely not going to be tied forever, she just needs peace of mind for the time being before she hauls away.The morning of her second wedding to the same person has come and she is not looking forward to it at all, who would? She needs to get everything ready right from her hair which she heard she must get it braided into small plaits, she already pity the woman going to do that down to the murderers of heels she is supposed to wear for the
BORNO EMIRATE COUNCIL.Now it's their wedding evening, the reception ended few hours ago and she just finished getting dressed to be sent to her husband's house, the moment she's been waiting for. She has to change again, imagine Suhayr's mood when she heard about wearing yet another lapaya just before she gets accompanied to her so called douche husband's house. She wanted to see how his Chamber is, she couldn't wait to see where the arrogant man lives but she needs to get dressed for him? What is wrong with these people and their delusional thoughts?!Yet another crazy thing happened earlier. More boxes were sent to them, isn't that just utterly deranged to send more boxes to them after the ones they've sent the days before? Granted, it is their tradition but they should have kept it minimal if they know about gifting them boxes two times, why are they lett
BORNO EMIRATE COUNCIL."Oh Allah! I hope for Your mercy, do not leave me even for the duration of an eye blink and correct my total conditions. Besides You, there is nothing worth of worship. Oh Allah, you have made me beautiful, make my soul beautiful too. Allahumma anta hassanta khalki fa hassin khuluki." Suhayr prayed with her hands raised in the popular praying gesture right after she finished praying Fajr feeling sated and extremely elated for some odd reasons.Maybe because she got the sleep she's been yearning for since she arrived at the unknown country. She awoke earlier with no trace of the tartar she thought she would see and give an earful, that is really good of him to escape. She wanted to wake up early to pray, she really do so when the alarm woke her up,
BORNOEMIRATE COUNCIL."Ha, you are definitely pregnant with twins and bet me!" Maysoon grinned extra widely staring at Suhayr who could only narrow her eyes in annoyance at her little cousin sister."Why do you want me to be pregnant with twins and where the heck did you get that philosophy from?" Suhayr glared at her simply irritated because of so many reasons standing right in front of her that she didn't want to believe.Who would've thought she was going to fall pregnant when her son just clocked two years old?Thank goodness Sa'eed was joking when he gave her the tickets to Mauritius a year ago and simply whispered they are going to make babies. Had that happened, she was sure she would've killed Sa'eed with her bare hands then bury him underneath a hill
BORNO EMIRATE COUNCIL.Two years later.A bright smile lured it's way to her face, the sun beaming down on her face feeling a sense of accomplishment. She's been waiting for this day since forever and now that it is finally here, she can't wait to get it over and done with. She's written what she wanted to say so many days ago and now, she feels like a teenager presenting again in front of the whole class not that someone like her has ever been intimidated by anyone. Two years is a long time to change someone, she has also changed too like every other person out there. She feels emotions now, so many of them."Are you ready?" The love of her life questioned, his arms looping around her waist as he place his head on her shoulder."More than ready. I just want to get this done and over with. Where is that troublemaker?" She inquires about their one year old son who could ruin the room without as much as losing a tinge of energy reserved for the day. She is su
ABDEEN PALACE, EGYPT."What is the commotion all about?" Suhayr ask one of her personal maids hearing the sounds of people talking, the palace in chaos for the first time since her arrival. The place has always been quite, people talk in hush whispers."Someone came and he wants to see you but the princes and the pharaoh are not letting him come through, your great majesty." Sara explained, her hands deep into the concoction she is making for Suhayr even though she knows she won't take it. That is her work, to always make it each blessed morning whether or not she takes it is not her problem."Me? Who could that be?" Suhayr wondered who would want to see her and her brothers are not letting him. That only leads to one person, none other than Sa'eed because he is the only one they hate from the core of their heart.She stood up then took calming breaths knowing she should not make stupid moves while she is just in her first trimester. It has been a month s
ABDEEN PALACE, EGYPT."What happened, dear?" Her father cooed, wrapping her in his arms like any loving father would. His heart is filled with joy when she rushed to him and gave him a tight hug, he has been wanting her to do that for a long time and she did albeit crying. It tore his him into half knowing he is powerful enough to crush anyone without as much as wasting his energy but his daughter is here crying.Whoever it is that did this, will suffer greatly."I hate him, father! I abhor him so much, I don't want to see him ever again in my life. He, he sent me packing because of a stupid truth behind our marriage! He is not worth it." She cried to her father's chest for so many things that went wrong in her life for the past few weeks.She didn't even get to cry for her biological mother's death with real tears, she didn't do that then but now, she can't hold the tears. She agreed that tears and crying makes us feel more human and sated when they are
BORNO EMIRATE COUNCIL."I seriously got scared for a minute there." Suhayr yanked herself away from Sa'eed's embrace while blushing. She felt stupid leaving Chad like that without second thought or even question herself whether that is ever going to happen. Tasneem would never do that to her even if the earth is in her palms for him."You need not be, Leontios, you will always be the perfect candidate. Protocols and etiquettes don't matter at all, no one could surpass you. You, are the perfect choice. There is no one greater than you are." He dive his head and took her lips with his in a passionate kiss filled with love. They both missed each other, so much.He chose his words perfectly like Elizabeth Bourgeret had said, 'A man in love is cautious with the decisions he makes, the words he says and the actions he takes, so he never purposefully cause her pain. He believes in her when she struggles believing in herself. He i
N'DJAMENA, CHAD.Suhayr changed into cotton blend block maxi dress featuring a scoop neckline and regular sleeves. Her feet are clasped in new pair of sandals that sat comfortably on her before they left the hospital together with Hakim and Salima who came immediately after hearing that she is in Chad. They don't need to settle any bill as Sa'eed has already done that, she can't thank the man enough no matter what she does. He saved her life, he left his country to come save her like a true hero. So this day is coming, the day Suhayr feels gratefulness that ran deep to her core, that makes her pulse thud and throb in a way she can't explain.'I don’t regret the things I’ve done, I regret the things I didn’t do when I had the chance.' She thought bitterly in her chest, this is bad.They arrive at the apartment complex with thirteen storeys, very beautiful and looks quite expensive but she didn't question H
N'DJAMENA, CHAD."You are saying that you married him for his money?" Hakim's brows scrunched lowly as he scratch his growing beard in wonder. He knows Suhayr in and out but he never thought she would give away her freedom for money, that sounds absurd to his ears or he might be hearing things. This is something so unlike the Suhayr he knows."What can I do? You know the company wasn't bringing much money then and I need it to survive, don't I?" She got all defensive seeing the judgement clouding his vision, he has always being judgemental and she hates him for that. He is her best friend, they grew up together knowing each other's flaws and because of his flaw, she hardly tells him all her secret and prefer to do it with Tasneem who will fan girl and support her even if she is wrong. She will then make her realise things one after the other, she appreciates that."
N'DJAMENA, CHAD.White, pure white!Everywhere is white, she is staring at the white place where everything white stared back at her like mockery. The walls are white, the mattress where some people are sitting on in white also. There are three of them and their backs are facing her, one male and two females all discussing something that looks intense and serious. Their hands are flailing around as they speak, their backs moving closer to each other so they can listen to one another. She squint her eyes trying to see what is going on and why the whole place is white and so boring to eyes. But why the people look awfully family with the way they talk and glance at one another.Is this another room in Sa'eed's chamber? The man seems to be obsessed with white but who the heck brought her back to his home? Last she remember, they were in Egypt and she ran away after their night got intense. No, she was even in a hotel room in Chad when some men came to assassinate h
N'DJAMENA, CHAD.Sa'eed panted as he stared at the hotel above him knowing that is the address given to them about where Suhayr is. He didn't waste any second but made his way inside where the receptionists are staring in a horrific way at the elevator, like something is about to jump out and kill them all which confirmed his thoughts and worst nightmare. He moved slowly not to make them more alarmed and frightened, they didn't notice him and he doesn't have the time of the day so he banished the thought of not scaring them. He banged his hand on the table, they jumped in fright and look at him, all girls."Room 151!" He didn't questioned, he is demanding the card or key to that room and if they love their lives, they won't question him. His eyes are basically burning down the whole place, it won't take much from him to burn them too along with the bricks. Their eyes rounded even more at the mention of the room."Here, Sir." In fright, one of them gave the card
